There have been so many names leaked for the Baylor baseball job. What is striking is they have all been either private school head coaches or coaches who recruited private schools previously. From Dan Heefner, Rob Walton, and Todd Whitting to begin the process to Casey Dunn and Steve Rodriguez. What do all of these guys have in common? Significant private school experience.
Yes, there are unique challenges that Baylor faces because of the scholarship limitations and the cost of tuition. That cannot be ignored, but it does not mean that only coaches from private schools can figure out how to be successful.
